Pretty much everyone has a Blackberry or an iPhone these days. After a little search on Google, I couldn't find many information security applications for these devices. There is MiniStumbler, but pretty much all the other apps are for securing the smart phone itself.

So, what security-related application would you like on a smart phone? A sniffer, port scanner, WEP cracking tool, an IDS, a "netcat-like" tool? They would obviously be less powerful then their stand alone counterpart, but I wouldn't mind some of these tools on my Blackberry...

I think that one of the largest issues with developing these tools for Palm and Blackberry devices is that they are closed-source. The source code also changes too frequently. I believe that people have gotten various tools to work on the iPhone and certainly Google-OS-based phones.

That's a good point, although Java runs like crap on my Palm phone. It's limited to a max of 32K of RAM. I am also not sure how close you would get to a network interface itself with Java. The phone would also have to support wifi. With all this said, I wouldn't mind seeing something like NMAP, perhaps a much lighter version.

The android platform has some simple things available, like port scanners and little things like that. There was an effort to port metasploit to android, but I haven't seen any news on that for a while now. jason's link is a good one. Thomas Wilhelm also did a talk at defcon on the same subject, which can be found here. http://www.defcon.org/html/links/dc-arc ... ml#Wilhelm
